The closest gauge measuring live water level is Garibaldi (NOAA 9437540), 8.0 mi away, and high and low water here run on average about 12 min earlier than there. The nearest weather station is Tillamook Bay South Jetty, OR (270), an offshore buoy reporting wind, waves and water temperature, 8.3 mi away.
The tide at Brighton
Brighton has a semidiurnal tide: two highs and two lows a day of about the same size, roughly 12 hours 25 minutes apart. This month's predictions average 1.9 high tides a day here. For the water around it: The ocean tide runs far up the Columbia, mixed semidiurnal at about 8 ft near the mouth and shrinking to 2 ft or less at Vancouver, where spring runoff moves the river as much as the moon does.

Datum and source
Heights on this page are feet above mean lower low water (MLLW), the zero NOAA's nautical charts use for soundings. A predicted 0.0 ft low is the average of the lower low each day; a minus tide is water below chart datum, and a 2 ft high means 2 ft more water than the chart shows. NOAA publishes no datums for this point. Its predictions are offsets from Crescent City and are referenced to MLLW there. Source: NOAA CO-OPS station 9437815. The tide times and heights are published as time and height offsets from its reference gauge; TidalMap republishes them daily and does not alter them.
